Brenden Steele heads to Quail Hollow for his third Wells Fargo Championship.
While Steele’s done no better than a tie for 48th last year, he’s at least seen the weekend on both of his attempts. He’s made nine of 10 cuts this season and enters Quail Hollow off a T32 in New Orleans. At 26th in ball-striking, he could be at an advantage given the questionable state of the greens this week.

Brendan Steele returns to the site of his only PGA TOUR win for the Valero Texas Open.

Steele has feasted on TPC San Antonio in his two appearances, winning the event in 2011 and sharing fourth last season. He’s shown that he’s a course horse, with form not indicative of his success. In most fantasy formats he should be heavily considered as a play this week.

Brendan Steele buried five birdies en route to a 3-under-par 32-36=68 in his opening round of the Tampa Bay Championship, finishing with a share of the clubhouse lead.

Steele hit 15 greens in regulation at Copperhead today and headlined his set of birdies with a conversion from 15'10" at the par-3 15th hole. He also sustained two bogeys, both as a result of failed GIRs, but he poured in a par save from 10'6" at No. 2. When he missed the cut in his only start at the event in 2011, he shot 72-73, so today's experience was his first worth remembering.

Brendan Steele enters the Tampa Bay Championship with the confidence of having made each of his five cuts to start the year.

His best finish of the year was a T6 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, and he's done a nice job of at least salvaging weekend finishes in his worst weeks. He's only played the Copperhead Course once, and that was in 2011 when he missed the cut.

Brendan Steele spun a 4-under-par 33-34=68 in the final round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open to earn his first top 10 of the season at 18-under 266.

Steele started off hot, erasing a bogey on the second with an eagle-birdie run on the third and fourth holes. He would then go quite, settling for par on his next 12 holes before sneaking into the top 10 with birdies on his final two holes. While he hadn't earned a top 25 before this week, he was trending up headed into TPC Scottsdale. He will not play Pebble Beach.

Brendan Steele turned in a bogey-free 6-under-par 33-32=65 in the third round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, giving him a chance to land his first top 10 since the Reno-Tahoe Open in August of 2012.

Steele made his noise on the TPC Scottsdale's par 3s, racking up three birdies and a par in four attempts. He added birdies on two par 5s and a 14'6" birdie on the par-4 14th. With the leaders still on the course with birdie holes remaining, it's unlikely that he will capture his second TOUR title on Sunday. He enters the final round at 14-under 199.

Brendan Steele didn’t have the sophomore season he had hoped for, but did teach us that he is a must-play option for the Valero Texas Open.

A year after winning the Valero Texas Open, he backed it up with a tie for fourth in what proved to be his best finish of 2012. Steele admitted on PGA TOUR radio to perhaps tinkering with his schedule a little too much in 2012, choosing to take advantage of some overseas options when he may have been better suited to have stayed on U.S. soil. With another year of seasoning, it’s likely he will have a steady year in 2013.

Brendan Steele posted a 5-under-par 33-34=67 on the Palm Course in his opening round of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, finishing three strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Steele has grinded through a challenging sophomore season on the PGA TOUR, missing 10 of 23 cuts, but he's also logged six top 25s, three of which in his last five starts. During today's loop of the Palm, he hit 13 greens in regulation and incurred only one bogey thanks to 26 putts. He also rolled in six birdies, three of which on par 5s.

Brendan Steele is set to make his first appearance in The McGladrey Classic after skipping the event his rookie season.

The sophomore ranks 110th on the money list, but his win at the 2011 Valero Texas Open renders his 2012 position on the money list moot, as he is fully exempt through 2013. While his three top 10s match that of his rookie campaign, the major difference in the resume is the lack of a win. He currently ranks 103rd in GIR and 135th in Strokes Gained-Putting, down from 99th and 120th in those categories last season. He missed the cut in last week’s Frys.com Open after tweeting that he received three stitches, but did not elaborate as to the nature of the injury.

Brendan Steele added 7 points to his total to finish his week at the Reno-Tahoe Open with 30 points and a top 10.

Steele had three of his five birdies erased by bogeys in his trip around Montreux Golf & Country Club. His 22 putts and 1.429 putting average were indicitive of how well he rolled the rock this week. He is currently an alternate for the upcoming PGA Championship at Kiawah Island.

Brendan Steele is coming off of back-to-back missed cuts, and he will try and end that streak at the Memorial.

Steele finished T4 in his Valero Texas Open title defense, but since then has a T48 at the Wells Fargo and missed cuts at THE PLAYERS and the Byron Nelson. He managed to earn weekend tee times last year at Muirfield Village, but settled for a T51 finish. He ranks 51st in total driving.

Brendan Steele carded a final-round 5-under-par 34-33=67 at the Valero Texas Open to jump into contention and post the clubhouse lead.

Steele was staring at a missed cut when he signed for 3-over 147 at the 36-hole mark, but when weather became a big factor on Friday afternoon he watched the cut move from 1-over to 4-over, allowing him to play the weekend. The defending champ took full advantage of his new lease on life, as he ends the week at 5-under-par 283. His bogey-free final round saw him land 13 GIR and take 26 putts in his navigation of TPC San Antonio. He is not scheduled to play in the upcoming Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Brendan Steele opened his title defense of the Valero Texas Open with a 1-over-par 35-38=73.

He started with a 69 in last year's slugfest before emerging as the sole survivor at 8-under 280 at the conclusion of 72 holes. Today at TPC San Antonio, he hit just half of his fairways and greens, and traded three birdies with two bogeys and a double. His longest birdie conversion measure 17 feet at the second hole. He also rolled in a par save from 12'1" at the ninth. Steele signed his card 10 strokes adrift of Matt Every's overnight lead.

Brendan Steele returns to the TPC San Antonio, and will attempt to defend his 2011 Valero Texas Open title.

Steele took home the hardware with an 8-under aggregate total for his first, and only, PGA TOUR victory. This season has been a mixed bag, as he's made exactly half of his 10 cuts and hasn't finished higher than T69 since the Phoenix Open all the way back in February when he notched a T5. His struggles have been across the board, as he is 155th in all-around ranking.

Brendan Steele carded a 2-under-par 36-33=69 in his opening round of the Northern Trust Open, finishing one stroke off the early clubhouse lead.

Steele hit just 10 greens today but took just 25 putts and offset three bogeys with five birdies. The quintet included conversions of 10'5" and 12'2" at the 17th and third holes, respectively. This is also a considerable improvement from his debut here last year when he shot 76-78=154 to miss the cut by nine.
